HOW TO TEACH A CHILD TO READ


Is your child struggling with reading? Is your child in a class she is supposed to be able to read and yet can't read, then you need our experience and skills. Being parents of 3 children ourselves, we can definitively tell you that the benefits of learning to read early are innumerable and that children even as young as 2 and 3 years old can learn to read effectively. We taught all of our children to read before age 3. We're here to share with you some of our experiences, and share with you the one learning to read method that we have found to be simple, yet very effective. That central concept which we focus on when teaching our children to read is to help our children develop phonemic awareness, and it is through a lot of reading, research, and personal experiences with our own children that have helped us come to this conclusion. In short, phonemic awareness is simply the ability to hear and work with the smallest units of sound known as phonemes. It deals only with working on To teach a child to read, we follow a rather systematic and ground up approach starting with letter names combined together with letter sounds. Once a few letter names and sounds (2 to 3) have been mastered, we begin with blending practices, and progress from there. Additional letters are slowly introduced, larger 3, 4, and 5 letters or more words are introduced, sentences are introduced, and then complete stories and rhymes are introduced. As you can see, this is a very systematic approach to learning how to read designed for young children.the individual sounds of words, and developing an understanding of how these individual sounds combine(blend) together to form words. It is through developing keen phonemic awareness skills which has allowed us to teach all of our children to read very early on.
